So No One Is Talking About This Yet?
New teaser shot from SIEGE released today.

Pretty obviously Steve handing the Iron Man over to someone, presumably Stark although some doubt is being cast on that by fans.

The one thing that stands out to me is the combination on the safe. Are the numbers 399377 relevant? Or is that maybe how much I'm going to wind up spending on this event?

So? Glowy on the hands has equaled repulsor or flamethrower on almost every armor since the 60s. Besides looking stupid, putting it behind the joint of the wrist at all, and especially on the back, makes it nigh-impossible to actually aim. And if the glowy this time isn't the actual repulsor, but some kind of power source for some kind of other palm weapon, then it still makes no sense, because such a huge power cell in such an unwieldy spot is just asking for it to get smashed and become useless, even discounting how much the rest of the arms' design would have to be altered to compensate for the extra weight on both wrists. Even if this is a new armor, the design is just stupid on any actual-use level.

Or it's just artist fail. Take your pick.

Really, it doesn't have to be either a repusor or a power source. And the only time glowy circle equaled power source was in the movie. In fact, Stark seems to make a point of making power cells not glowy in the comics. It's a glowy circle on the wrist. The only other time I've seen that on an IM armour was the Crossing armour's heavy duty repulsors, but those were part of a huge gauntlet. It could be a new forcefield projector or something.
